Wash Heights Eatery Named Among Best Breakfast Spots In Manhattan

WASHINGTON HEIGHTS, NY — It is the meal you eat to start your day, and a Washington Heights cafe just got named among the best breakfast spots in Manhattan.

The food and review website Eater NY recently published a list Thursday of "19 Great Breakfast Options in Manhattan."

Salento, a Colombian cafe in near West 165th Street, was the first name featured on the list.

Here's what Eater NY had to say about the cafe at 2112 Amsterdam Ave.

"This small panaderia and cafe in Washington Heights remains one of the best places in Manhattan for Colombian pastries and assorted South American snacks," Eater NY wrote. "Swing by in the morning for the sweet-salty pandebono cheese bread, chicken-filled corn empanadas, and calentado, the traditional Colombian breakfast platter of rice and beans paired with a fried egg, chicharron, and an arepa."
